Re: [w3c/webpayments-payment-apps-api] The relationship between payment apps and service workers (#33)

I think it's a very bad idea. They are different things so trying to combine them is a bad idea. The app manifest will be fetched when the app is registered whereas the payment method manifest might be fetched during a checkout or during app registration. 

Note that during app registration fetching and processing manifests is a background process that is not blocking user interactions so the number of round-trips is immaterial.

We can't do that because this is an app manifest (not a payment method manifest).

> Is it possible to add an extension point there in the appmanifest spec?

We should raise that with the app manifest editors
